Why? Because it's not a necessity. We use social networking for socializing, for fun and a little for business. However, we can certainly get by without it. The difference between social networks and the monopolization of the phone system is that phone service is not so much a "just for fun" system. It's necessary for business. Now, I guess you could say we could become just as dependent on social networks as we have on the telephone. But right now I think that our dependency on email, telephone and other forms of communication make social networking still a non-necessity.BetsyTue, 08 Apr 2008 15:54:41 -0000
